Universities, good ones anyway, provide an education on a vast range of topics. It is up to the student to understand and utilize the discussions (a good university presents and discusses, it does not teach- trade schools and technical colleges are for that, and certainly lead to honorable and important things in life) and interpret them. No university teaches that Israel is wrong. Politics classes and Philosophy classes and such present a HUGE range of opinions, they do not pick a favored one. Unless the professor is absolutely terrible at their job, they will always make it clear that they are presenting their opinion- if they have one- on an issue, before discussing it in a biased manner.
There are just as many conservatives and moderates on university campuses as lefties, and frankly, the 'leftist university student' cliche has grown incredibly tiresome.
